Severe weather conditions have swept across the region affecting P&O Cruises’ Pacific Sun.

The cruise ship was just north of Auckland when it rolled sharply at around 8pm last night after experiencing 7 metre swells and 50 knot winds. Due to this sudden movement that occurred around 40 passengers have been treat onboard by the medical staff.

The cruise ship has been delayed due to the bad weather so will not return to Auckland for at least 24 hours after the expected arrival time.

“I would like to assure the friends and families of our passengers that they are in good care onboard the ship,” a P&O Cruises spokesperson said.
